MatthiasClasen: I stand by the comments that I made in the review request: it is simply not going to happen that we will ship a 'variation of GTK+' or 'patch every gnome application'. If you want to make any progress on this, it has to happen upstream in Gnome. For that, I refer to Owens comments from the upstream bug ( http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=353076#c18 ):

this is an unlikely change

larger screens make this less attractive

needs a coherent plan with project-wide buy-in

it would be more interesting if the OS X platform integration was tackled first

YuFeng: You are right. Besides I am not trying to show irrespect to your comments about the bug entry. Anyway this is a proposal and nothing more. Besides most discussion on that link is toward AqD's mac-menu hack instead of Global Menu Project. As for pushing it into GNOME, you know, I am not a member of GNOME devel, and it is always unlikely for foreigners' work to be merged into mainstream, if the work touches too much.

This is an unlikely change so far by NOW. But nothing is stagnant.

A Document Centric GNOME is always attractive. No matter what size of screen you have.

What do you mean by a coherent plan with project-wide buy-in?

Why do you try to related this to OSX at all? It is a GNOME thing, a GTK Widget on GNU/Linux, and it even don't port to platforms other than X11 yet. Also it is intended to improve GNOME and Fedora instead of to improve OSX.

JakubRusinek: I've tested RPM provided in there and they do not work and keep gnome-panel freezing at startup. Build newer or do something. Providing things which can only break everything is useful...
